My Shattered Mind

My Shattered Mind By Kevin Robey March 9, 2013 No inspiration, but I’m like stone Stuck in my resolve in being alone This anxiety is gripping me, killing me Cutting the air until I no longer see I write this down, no salvation found I can tell there’s no one else around I’ll look for friends, in music and then Scratch my bones, again and again You find the reprieve, but not the cure For a toxic feeling, it’s so damn pure So I find solace in a different medium Yet it all falls into a state of tedium Blind faith says my story will one day be told But I ask who will tell it, as the fear takes hold I will not survive this, it’s suffocating me My final cries will be your haunting memory You can call me selfish all you want But these demons speak in killer fonts I’m just reading the writing on the wall In blood, the message here is sprawled It tells the tale of a boy once so bright With so much promise, no clouds in sight But the storm came, it was always there It doesn’t even matter that you care Your sunshine will never touch my mind A place where shadows are easy to find But what is the root cause, what is the prime reason? It comes with the change, it comes with the season You just have to trust me when I say This never would have worked anyway My soul is haunted by this terror unseen It shreds my heart like you wouldn’t believe Although you’ll never see the fire burning my mind The evidence of the arson won’t be hard to find This is down and out, rock bottom as they say But don’t count me out, as my mind decays Hope or despair, existing at the same time I look nowhere, for answers I’ll never find Can no longer stand the pain that has no name Take this with you, back from where you came
